Most Americans are lukewarm at best regarding Obama’s healthcare reform, according to a recent Gallup poll: “Americans on Healthcare Reform: Top 10 Takeaways.”  Of note: 84% of adult American’s have health insurance, and most are satisfied with it; additionally, there is “No Groundswell of Support for Healthcare Reform.”  We should focus on the 16% without health insurance, and not break a system that is working for 84%.

So what are some alternatives to ensuring that all American’s have health insurance? In the Wall Street Journal, Arthur B. Laffer outlines a viable alternative to “Obamacare,” “How to Fix the Health-Care ‘Wedge’.”

Congress needs to focus on reform that promotes what Americans want most: immediate, measurable ways to make health care more accessible and affordable without jeopardizing quality, individual choice, or personalized care.

No American wants the Government to make their healthcare decisions for them, the elderly do not want to be refused expensive treatments because they are “too old,” we should reform healthcare, but Obama’s plan will leave us worse off.

The United States has the best health-care in the world in terms of quality of care.  It’s simply a fact.  Foreign dignitaries and other elite from across the globe come to the U.S. for medical treatment.  Unfortunately, the U.S. health-care system has two major problems:

1) Not everyone is covered

2) It’s expensive

The government, led by our aforementioned rulers, are ostensibly trying to resolve these two issues.  Whether their solutions are good or bad is up for debate.  The Wall Street Journal has an article: “Ten Questions on the Health-care overhaul,” that provides a good base for understanding the issues.
